Talk:ATS-3

Defending image
The Image was infact orignally published by NASA, so it shouldnt be a problem to leave it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theinternetsoify (talk • contribs) 10:26, March 17, 2008

An even longer-lived satellite?
The LES 9 satellite, launched in March 1976, is now over 36 years old and still operating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlesmrader (talk • contribs) 07:55, 6 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Good info. Not sure it is relevant to this article as that sat would be a 3rd or 4th generation commsat.  In the late 1990's, apparently ATS-3 had the record, although the sources are a bit unclear as I wasn't able to find a publication date for the NASA "Beyond the Ionosphere" book.  However, I have tweaked the text in this article to indicate that the oldest claim was made at a snapshot in time, and is certainly not eternally true.  Cheers.  N2e (talk) 21:45, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
